•' The present species can only be confused superficially with 

 vitt-ens, Sign., from Madagascar. In botli sexes, however, of 

 hreddini the eyes are actually contiguous intero-posteriorly, while 

 in v)t)-eiis, even in the males, the interior margins of the eyes do 

 not touch together. This character is constant in eight breddini 

 and thirty-seven vitreus that I have examined." {Kirlcaldy.) 



This is the only description of the species (without dimensions)

given by Kirkaldy, and as the peculiar structure of the eyes is 

 found in some Bengal specimens, one of which is here figured, I 

 have concluded that those from Bengal and Celebes are the same. 

 The colour is greyish yellow, the abdomen black beneath excluding 

 a central longitudinal yellow ridge, and there is a black spot near 

 the coxae. It scarcely appears to be congeneric ! 



Length 7 millim.
